I'm not sure if that impacts Netflix, but it might be worth checking.

individual IP address. If you have a major internet security package (like Norton or Bitdefender, MacAfee, etc) an update might have activated one...

it's basically a network of its own and some VPN parameters may be interfering w/ your Netflix in running on your platform.

I'd say that the chances of you being on a VPN are zero, since you aren't aware of a VPN on your digital platform.
